These delicious oatmeal cookies have a nice tropical flavor and are so easy to make. They are great as a sweet treat, snack or even breakfast! The dried pineapple caramelizes while these cookies bake and are complemented by the slight tartness of the freeze-dried strawberries. Each bite of this cookie has sweet pineapples, strawberries and white chocolate chips, while the tahini adds a nutty, salty undertone. If tahini isn’t your thing, or you don’t have any on hand, swap it for almond butter or whatever nut/seed butter you like. Bonus: these cookies are vegan refined-sugar free AND gluten-free!
